In most cases it will recover from a reboot during a software update, but there are some critical times where a reboot could leave the box in an unrecoverable state. So we wouldn't recommend it unless the box is clearly stuck.

The quoted hour is just to do the clear (actually it's a lot quicker than that in my experience). It then needs to download the full guide data again, which will take a couple of hours, then a bit longer to re-process your series links.

To quote myself from post #240: "It'll take a couple of hours so don't do it when you've got recordings scheduled in the near future. "
